About this title

From Library Journal:

In his foreword, Norman Mailer calls this oninium-gatherum "the autobiography of a bona fide American revolutionary," and indeed it is. The collection includes selections from Hoffman's Revolution for the Hell of It (o.p.), Woodstock Nation ( LJ 12/15/69. o.p.), Steal This Book ( LJ 11/15/71. o.p.), and nine essays originally published in the 1980s, all of which provide a unique first-person account of the irrepressible Hoffman and his times. Radiating from every page is Hoffman's determined commitment to radical change in a society constructed on political compromise and cooption. Libraries lacking Hoffman's major writings should buy this book .
